Laurel Falls Trail

Scenic Views
The most-visited waterfall in the Smokies for good reason, the 2.6-mile paved roundtrip offers accessibility while the 80-foot falls reward the effort. The paving includes significant elevation gain and some uneven sections, making it unsuitable for wheelchairs or strollers despite appearances. Peak season transforms the trail and parking lot into crowded conditions. Early morning or late afternoon visits dramatically improve the experience.
